DOWNHILL SPIRAL: The case behind Bode Miller's fifth-place finish.
Bode won a silver already and almost won the combined . . .just clipped one pole. I know the press had built him up like he was "supposed" to win gold in everything but thats not his fault. Most athletes are delighted with a medal, any medal against the best the world has to offer. Give him a break!
